Em             C
How to get to Hadestown
  G                       D
You'll have to take the long way down
            Em                   C
Through the underground, under cover of night
  G                  D
Laying low, staying out of sight
    Em                       C
Ain't no compass, brother, there ain't no map
         G                       D
Just a telephone wire and the railroad track
 Em                       C
Keep on walking and you don't look back
   G                D
'Til you get to the bottomland


[ORPHEUS]
Em       C   G    D
Wait for me, I'm coming
Em      C    G         D
Wait, I'm coming with you
Em       C    G          D
Wait for me, I'm coming too
           Em
I'm coming too


[HERMES]
 Em             C
River Styx is high and wide
    G               D
Cinderbricks and razorwire
Em             C
Walls of iron and concrete
G                  D
Hound dogs howling round the gate
Em                C
Them dogs'll lay down and play dead
G                      D
If you got the bones, if you got the bread
Em                 C
But if all you got is your own two legs
G                D
You best be glad you got 'em


[ORPHEUS]

Em       C   G    D
Wait for me, I'm coming
Em      C    G         D
Wait, I'm coming with you
Em       C    G          D
Wait for me, I'm coming too
           Em
I'm coming too


[HERMES]
Em                  C
You're on the lam, you're on the run
G                      D
Don't give your name, you don't have one
Em             C
And don't look no one in the eye
G                  D
That town will try to suck you dry
Em                        C
They'll suck your brain, they'll suck your breath
G                       D
They'll pluck the heart right out your chest
Em                      C
They'll truss you up in your Sunday best
G               D
And stuff your mouth with cotton


[ORPHEUS]

Em       C   G    D
Wait for me, I'm coming
Em      C    G         D
Wait, I'm coming with you
Em       C    G          D
Wait for me, I'm coming too
           Em
I'm coming too
 Em     C    G     D
Wait, wait, wait, wait
